MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE MY HUSBAND WAS MY PRIORITY
Christiana’s point of viewSIMON!Simon still remembered when he first started to talk with me. But it was never the way it is now. It was not at all such a meaningless, peculiar, yet sometimes philosophical the way it is now, then.Right now, I needed to think about him first and then think about something else. He needed all my attention. I just could not be selfish. After all, he was my friend. I still considered him. And above all there is word called humanity.Soon Simon’s eyebrows get pulled up and together. His upper eyelids were pulled up, and his lower eyelids were tensed and drawn up as well. His teeth were exposed, and his mouth was drawn back and stretched at the same time.Yes! Simon. You heard me right. My ex, Simon.His lips trembled and his eyes were watery. Tears welled up in his eyes. A single tear came rolling down his eyes. Tears streamed down his face like an ocean flowing. He could feel his throat closing up.“Oh, man.” I gasped.He was all angst.How many shocks
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE SUCH WAS OUR BOND!
Christiana’s point of view “Simon, you have a really good memory. How do you manage to do so? I asked Simon, lying on the bed.After listening to my question, Simon behaved in a weird manner.Lying on the other side of the bed, he just covered his face with the pillow beside him. And kicked his feet to some inside thoughts whilst he was thinking.Simon, lying on the other side of the bed, kept on gazing at me continuously and said, “To be honest, Stacy, I don't even have any answer to this question of yours.”“But tell me one thing, why are you asking this question? Have you not forgotten the remembrances of last night?” He added further.Simon’s questions left me speechless. I did not have anything to answer him.“Why? Do you really want to be with me? Have you changed your mind or what? Someone please pinch me.” Before I could add further, Simon said this to me on a satirical note.“No, actually…” Yet again I was numb.No matter what it was, how could he scoff like that, I wondered
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE HIS FRIEND!
Christiana's point of view It was almost dusk, the smell and taste of coffee was comforting. If you are deprived of sleep, having a cup of your favorite brew can help you feel more relaxed and ready to be productive. The sun was setting in the sky as fresh colours brushed upon an artist's canvas, as if those rays were destined to create a great work of art - one given to those open to capturing simple moments in the soul. The hard coffee, the caffeine causing my body to increase the level of dopamine in brain, the chemical making me feel happy. The cool breeze brushing my skin, The air blowing my hair back and the leaves rustling. In the silence my phone rang, I pushed myself up from the couch, stepping inside the room and I picked up the phone, a smile crept my face checking the caller's id of the person. My heart fluttered when the phone screen displayed his name. Everything felt new, the feelings foreign yet calming and homely. "Hello," I answered the call throwing myself on
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE MEET UP!
The dimmed lights of the movie theater cast a soft glow over the rows of seats, punctuated by the flickering images on the screen. Christiana settled into her seat, eagerly awaiting the start of the film, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was met with a bittersweet smile that she recognized immediately. "Alivia!" Christiana exclaimed, her eyes widening with surprise and joy. "I can't believe it's you. What are you doing here?" Alivia's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "I was just passing by and thought I'd say goodbye," she replied, her voice tinged with sadness. "Oh no, you're leaving already?" Christiana's heart sank. She had known Alivia for years, and they had shared so many memorable moments together in California. The news of her departure came as a shock. Alivia nodded, her eyes becoming a little misty. "Yes, I received a call from my organization. They need me back in London for some important work. It's all so sudd
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE Missing her!
The days had grown longer, and the California sun had become a familiar companion to Christiana as she went about her routine. Yet, despite the warm rays that kissed her skin, she couldn't shake off the lingering sense of melancholy that had settled within her. Alivia's departure to London had left a void in her life, one that seemed impossible to fill.As Christiana sat in her favorite spot by the beach, she gazed out at the endless expanse of the ocean, its waves crashing against the shore. Her mind drifted back to her childhood days, when she first met Alivia, the girl with the mischievous smile and eyes that sparkled like stars.Christiana and Alivia had been inseparable since that fateful day when they both stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove of seashells. Their laughter had echoed through the beach as they collected shells of all shapes and sizes, forming a bond that would only grow stronger with time.Over the years, they shared countless adventures, exploring the secret nooks
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
PART II Christiana’s point of view Today’s reality: It was around 7 in the evening. I was back from work, entered the room as quickly as I could, and then slipped out of the room. Luckily, Tiger wasn’t there. “Hey, please come here.” I asked one of the staffs. “Yes, ma’am. How can I help you?” He replied.“Where are everyone? The whole floor seems so silent.” I asked him further.“Ma’am…...” I had a conversation with the staff and got to know all other were gathered at the 2nd top floor. I barely had any idea as in how to go about ahead. “Huh!” I paused for a while contemplating and then gasped. . . . The floor became silent as soon as I walked out of the lift on the floor just below the roof top. Floor – yes – the floor just below the roof top – that very floor of our mansion. Or should I say his mansion. Yes! His mansion. Yeah, his mansion only. Not mine. How can it be mine? Oh! Jesus. How did you let this happen? How could you even do? How? I just can’t believe. Even i
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE DUH!
Christiana’s point of viewIt was around 7 a.m., and I smelled toast. I stretched on my bed and smiled a bit while glancing outside the window. My eyes flick open with the sunbeams flashing on my face. And the clarity and factuality smashed down on me with utmost force. I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened them only to close again. I immediately wanted to cry again and forget the escapades of gone days.I forced myself off the bed, I took shower and rushed downstairs to have breakfast. Miss Daisy was already there with the breakfast on the table. Luckily, Tiger wasn’t there...I had completed my breakfast and decided to slip into my room. I was taken aback seeing the respective scenario in front of my eyes. Tiger was standing on the other side of the room. Next to him was seated his dearest friend the great ‘Helen’. Yeah, that bitch. Holy shit! Oh! Jesus.How could she? How dare she? He is mine. She was staring at Tiger as though she was his very spouse of him, not me. She did no
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE CONTINUED
Christiana’s point of view Holy Shit. “What am I doing here?” I muttered to myself. No. No. No. Regretted. Yes, I regretted being there. There – there in Miss Daisy’s room. It was already noon and I had taken a nap too. Nap. Yes, nap – nap in Miss Daisy’s room. But that shit lady was still in my room. I had summoned a staff to know about the scenario at present then in my room. He in return informed me about the presence of ‘Helen ma’am’ in my room. “Duh!” Well, if said about taking a nap in Miss Daisy’s room – she did not know about the reality of our marriage before, but later she got to know about it. She was taken aback after listening to the factuality. Even though she had to withstand with everything at the end. Because it was after all factuality. “Huh!” I gasped. “Christiana, my girl. You are awakened?” Miss Daisy asked me with a smile on her face.“Yes, I …” I replied to her very softly. Probably, I did not want to respond to her in that way. But I could not help mysel

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE FRESH START
Tiger paced back and forth in the grand living room of the Kelvin palace, his mind racing with worry and frustration. Christiana, his wife, watched him with a heavy heart.

Simon and Helen, Christiana's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, had made the difficult decision to leave the Kelvin business empire, driven by a deep sense of disappointment and resentment.The root of the problem lay in Tiger's denial of Simon's long-awaited promotion.

Curiosity piqued, Christiana put her cup down and discreetly positioned herself closer to the open doorway, hoping to catch snippets of their conversation.Tiger's voice was low, tinged with frustration. "I don't understand why Simon isn't happy. He's only been with us for a few months, and already he's expecting a higher position. It's not fair."Christiana's heart skipped a beat. Simon, Tiger's cousin, had joined Tiger's office after his own business had gone bankrupt. Initially, Christiana had been relieved to hear that Simon was finding
